Heat for Sale (Heat for Sale, #1)
Blake Moreno
Heat can be sold but love is earned. In a world where omegas sell their heats for profit, Adrien is a university student in need of funding. With no family to fall back on, he reluctantly allows the university's matcher to offer his virgin heat for auction online. Anxious, but aware this is the reality of life for all omegas, Adrien hopes whoever wins his heat will be kind. Heathāa wealthy, older alphaāis rocked by the young man's resemblance to his dead lover, Nathan. When Heath discovers Adrien is Nathanās lost son from his first heat years before they met, he becomes obsessed with the idea of reclaiming a piece of Nathan. Heath buys Adrienās heat with only one motivation: to impregnate Adrien, claim the child, and move on. But their undeniable passion shocks him. Adrien doesn't know what to make of the handsome, mysterious stranger he's pledged his body to, but heās soon swept away in the heat of the moment and surrenders to Heath entirely. Once Adrien is pregnant, Heath secrets him away to his immense and secluded home. As the birth draws near, Heath grows to love Adrien for the man he is, not just for his connection to Nathan. Unaware of Heath's past with his omega parent and coming to depend on him heart and soul, Adrien begins to fall as well. But as their love blossoms, Nathan's shadow looms. Can Heath keep his new love and the child they've made together once Adrien discovers his secrets? Heat for Sale is a stand-alone m/m erotic romance by Leta Blake, writing as Blake Moreno. Infused with a du Maurier Rebecca-style secret, it features a well-realized omegaverse, an age-gap, dominance and submission, heats, knotting, and scorching hot scenes.

Crea Reitan

And since my dadās only useful enough to drain a bottle, Iāve learned to live with nothing, except the love and generosity of my best friends.

But at twenty-two, the guilt of taking handouts from my friends catches up with me. Filled with self-loathing, I decide itās time to make a change. Determined to pay my own way, I accept a strange proposition from my former professor. Suddenly, I find myself with a sugar daddy, and a whole lot of questions Iām not sure how to process. The twins have always known they were gayājust like Iāve known I was straight. But now, I wonder if the love and affection Iāve always craved was for something else entirely. *** This is a LGBT+ story with content not intended for those under 18 years of age due to graphic scenes and situations.

The Gate of the Feral Gods
Matt Dinniman
New Achievement! Total, Utter Failure. You failed a quest less than five minutes after you received it. Now thatās talent. A floating fortress occupied by warrior gnomes. A castle made of sand. A derelict submarine guarded by malfunctioning machines. A haunted crypt surrounded by lethal traps. It was supposed to be easy. One bubble. Four castles. Fifteen days. Capture each one, and the stairwell is unlocked. Here's the thing. It's never easy. Carl and his team can't go it alone. Not this time. They must rely on the help of the low-level, I-can't-believe-these-idiots-are-still-alive crawlers trapped in the bubble with them. But can they be trusted? Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the fifth floor of the dungeon.

This is the most low-brow, degenerate, smutty gay erotica you can get while still being pretty well written. 5* from me lol mind the content warnings, though basically I'd say if you have any kink reservations/triggers this probably isn't the series for you. Also some of the early book I would classify as dubcon, discussion/ negation doesn't come in until later. Also there's some detailed watersports fantasy at one point with heavily implied watersports later that isn't warned (it's a pretty small part though).

Bro Doll
J. De Saint
Iāve always kept my head on straight. Iām smart, popular, obviously super hot, and the bro my friends can rely on. But under all that, I have a craving I never knew existed: I want to be used. I want to shut my brain off completely and let someone else dictate exactly what I am. I never expected that a stupid challenge during a drunken game with my roommates would be the thing that made me discover a side of myself that doesn't want to think, or speak, or even be human. Now, thereās no turning back. My roommates know exactly what I need, and they won't holding back until Iām nothing but their perfect, mindless doll. Bro Doll is the fourth book of the Kinky ABC Anthology, a collection of stand-alone stories where each letter explores a different kink. In this book, āDā is for Dollification. Each book can be read on its own.

5* for erotica. Not 5* compared to what I normally consider 5* lol... But oh my god y'all I loved this one a lot even though there was some knife play that made me go oh no that's getting infected..Great dark romance, amazing rope play and brat taming, sex club scenes with free use, and a hea unlike the last book. The warnings should probably also specify blood play cause yeah. If you're squeamish about blood during sex or buttholes, skip this one.

I give this a 4 for erotica... "decadent/indulgent, filthy, hedonistic"... Once again great erotic writing with occasional extremes to the kink that made me go "noooooo" lmao
Although the fact the goal was to incorporate cum into pastries to sell to unknowing people š that's non-consent ! It's been a pattern that this series has non-consent elements while insisting in the warnings that all parties are consenting. I have no issues with CNC, nc/dubcon I just think they should be included if you're going to have a content warning list.

This was a sweet whirlwind romance and seems to take writing about disability seriously. My main issue was that as brash? Decisive? Tucker is, that Deo isn't more triggered by that, bc it's a fine line from that to controlling and with the way his ex was I was just expecting more issues to arise from it. I also didn't like the set up for one of the other characters (Bodin sp?), it just seemed to egregiously over the top/immature. I will still give the other books a go though.

Zero Pucks (Punk as Puck #1)
E.M. Lindsey
Sometimes what happens in Vegas shows up at your door two weeks later to tell you that heās the guy you married while you were blackout drunk.Waking up alone in a strange hotel room, missing my prosthetic legs, and no memory of what happened the night before is not how I wanted to spend my estranged twinās bachelor party trip.Yet there I was, legless and zero idea how I got there. Or who I spent the night with. Which isā¦not great.Though I suppose that trauma lies somewhere between losing my legs in a car accident which killed my career in the NHL, and my brother running off with my fiancĆ©e.So, in the grand scheme of things, not the worst weekend Iāve had.But while Iām no longer a bitter, angry man, Iām also maybeākind of, sort ofānot the most well-adjusted person on the planet. And that shows when an adorable, dimpled, wild-haired man shows up at my door to tell me that the hazy night in Vegas had a very specific At some point, after several chocolate cake shots and trauma dumping, Amedeo and I found Elvis and got married.The easy thing to do would be to make sure the marriage isnāt valid. But when have I ever made anything in my life easy? Especially since the incentive is getting to keep this man in my orbit.We might have had the weirdest beginning of any married couple, but now Iām feeling strangely determined to give us both the happily ever after we deserve.Zero Pucks is the first book in a rom-com, strangers to lovers, MM romance sled hockey series. It features a ride or die hockey found family, snarky best friends, the Team Dad who refuses to approve of bad decisions, why sled hockey is way more terrifying than standing hockey, awkward first dates, steaming hot first kisses, and a Golden Retriever of an Alternate Captain determined to give them both the happiest of ever afters.



I went into this blind and definitely not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. I only read it bc my friend who I share tastes with in romance claims it as her favorite series. I thought, surely not? Doesn't seem like it should be this good especially having gone mainstream. But here we are, it's not even queer and I'm loving it. It's also refreshing for a cishet white Normal Dude to also be relatively Woke and compassionate. Also please note there is a different edition of the audio available on "Soundbooth Theater" that is still mostly Jeff Hays but MORE and incredibly well done. Highly recommend it for anyone esp if you want to support indie artists instead of Big Zondible.
